   I had little difficulty compiling gas from the gas-970915 version
   for the mips-sgi-irix6.2 configuration, but when I try to compile
   the egcs snapshot 971122 with --with-gnu-as, I get an error as soon
   as the new xgcc is used to compile enquire.c, because it tries to
   pass the argument -n32 to gas.  I tried removing this from the
   specs file, but this simply causes a lot of other errors.

gas doesn't really support Irix 6.

It also shouldn't be necessary.  gcc should work on Irix 6 without
using gas.

I think gas is required on Irix 5 in order to get debugging
information, but not on Irix 6.
